Any idea how to tell which type it is? Would it be posted on the cover?

Howdy again looking for help finding a part number for the fuel strainer/gascolater gasket for my 65 m20E. Picture included for reference

Cool deal. Thanks much

Hello so we had to overhaul our engine and in doing so my A&P is recommending a new alternator belt. Previous owner did a conversion from generator to alternator and the belt that’s on there is a Napa belt. Would anyone happen to know what part number I can give my local aviation parts shop for the belt since my A&P can let use a replacement Napa belt? Thanks on advance

Pm sent

Added some pictures of the suspected crack. Our engine only has about 650 hours on it

I’ll give them a call today.

Howdy As you may have guessed from the title, just found out our crankcase is cracked around the stud for cylinder #2 in our ‘65 E. Anyone have any recent experience with this and know the best course of action? thanks in advance

That was my original option I was leaning towards but we already have dual gi275 so figured the 750 would work better if or when we do autopilot

Kinda what we’re leaning towards is maybe upgrading to the XI in the future. Figured for sarasotas used price, we could do the 750 for roughly the same price as the 650xi

We were looking at the ifd 540 and haven’t fully ruled it out. Just saw Sarasota has used 750s (non xi) models available which is really intriguing for the cost. Can’t see a huge difference between the xi and non xi units either

We did dial gi275s last year so my understanding is they’d not only work better with the 650, but would also give us an even better base for autopilot down the line if or when we decide to do that. Ultimately we would love the 750 with remote audio panel but kinda saving that for last as I would think autopilot is more of a priority than a full 750.

Howdy. we currently have a 530W in our E. We’ve been flying more IFR stuff and starting to realize how tedious loading flight plans to the 530 really is. We started looking into either a flightstream 210 or a 650/750. We were initially leaning towards the 210 but our avionics guy made the point that the 530 is on a timer so economically speaking, the best bet would be to go with a 650xi and sell the 530w while we can get something for it. Curious what y’all’s thoughts are on that concept. TIA

Cool deal. Thanks for the pic references. Much appreciated

I’ll have to double check when I get back home from work. My plane partner called me telling me it was burnt out

I’d have to check again but don’t remember seeing any visible screws. There’s just the cover and if I remember correctly a chrome ish piece around the cover

Not sure if posting in the right place but does anyone have a how to on how to replace tail (white) nav light on a ‘65 M20E. Was looking in the AMM but didn’t see it there. It’s the regular non led one. TIA

Don’t mean to be a party pooper, but those of you who are still student pilots intending to buy a Mooney to finish training in will have a rude awakening with insurances. Unless you’re self insured, most if not all insurances won’t insure a student pilot. My plane partner had that predicament when we bought the Mooney and we’re still fighting them to get him insured

I fly with the 11 pro and we have the pivot case mounts attached to the yoke. The extended arm works real well in our E

Thanks for all the responses, everyone. Y’all definitely gave me a sigh of relief. Definitely a learning experience on my part as well

That’s exactly what happened to me. It was warm out, was on the return flight home so engine was already warm and was waiting behind the p40 for a king air on short final

Question for y’all. Was flying today and got distracted by a P-40 taking off in front of me which made me forget to open my cowl flaps (no excuses, I should’ve double checked my checklist). On climb out, my #2 cylinder got up to 450 when I leveled off and caught the cowl flaps being closed so opened them and temps started dropping. Probs wasn’t that high for more than a few seconds. Engine ran fine the rest of the way home and a run up after landing returned normal results. Didn’t see anything weird through the oil door either. Am I overthinking it or should I have an A&P check and run the engine and maybe even run a compression test? thanks on advance

These are from the eBay link you provided?

I had seen that but wasn’t sure if it was the same. Thanks much

Thanks for the help. The Mooney catalog was showing all the parts minus the hub/dust cover
